A gingivectomy is a dental procedure that involves the surgical removal of excess gum tissue to improve the health and appearance of the gums. This procedure is often performed to treat conditions such as gum disease, where the gums have become swollen, inflamed, or have overgrown, leading to pockets where bacteria can accumulate.
In traditional gingivectomy procedures, a scalpel is used to remove the excess gum tissue. However, with advancements in laser dentistry, gingivectomies can now be performed using lasers. Laser gingivectomies offer several advantages over traditional methods
involves the removal or alteration of a frenum, which is a small fold of tissue in the mouth that connects the lips, cheeks, or tongue to the gum or jawbone. Frenectomies are commonly performed to address issues related to restricted movement caused by tight or overly prominent frenum attachments.
In the context of laser dentistry, frenectomies can be performed using laser technology instead of traditional surgical methods.
Fibroma removal in the context of laser dentistry refers to the use of laser technology to eliminate fibromas, which are benign growths or lesions commonly found in the soft tissues of the oral cavity. Fibromas can develop on the gums, tongue, cheeks, or palate and are typically non-cancerous but may cause discomfort or interfere with oral function.
Laser dentistry offers a minimally invasive and precise approach to removing fibromas. During the procedure, a dental laser is used to precisely target and vaporize the fibroma tissue while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. The laser’s energy effectively seals blood vessels, reducing bleeding and promoting faster healing compared to traditional surgical methods.
Refers to the use of laser technology in dentistry to treat periodontal abscesses. Periodontal abscesses are localized collections of pus within the gums, usually caused by bacterial infection. Traditional treatment methods involve draining the abscess and administering antibiotics.
In laser dentistry, a specialized dental laser is used to target and eliminate the bacteria responsible for the abscess. The laser energy is directed precisely at the infected area, effectively sterilizing it and promoting healing.
Also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or laser biostimulation, is a non-invasive treatment modality used in laser dentistry. It involves the application of low-level laser light to stimulate cellular processes, promote tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain.

Dear Patient,
After 33 years of practice in the greater New Brunswick area, it gives me great pleasure to inform you that my former superstar dental resident that I helped train 12 years ago, Dr. Keren Levine, will be assuming my practice. I will continue to practice with Dr. Levine as her associate for a brief period to assure a smooth transition. Due to the nature of our close relationship, I will be of access to Dr. Levine after my exit to discuss any aspect of your care as she gets to know your unique individual oral health issues and needs.
I am excited that such a skilled clinician that I have a strong connection with will be with you moving forward. Dr. Levine has 12 years of private practice experience and has a stellar reputation. She has invested great time and effort over the years to enhance her clinical and technological offerings, and as a patient you will benefit from the new technology she plans on implementing. Moreover, she will be able to offer additional specialized and cosmetic services that I did not have the training to provide, which will now be available without having to refer out to other providers.
While you will meet some new staff members that Dr. Levine will be bringing on, you will still see familiar faces at your next visit. You may even see Jill and I in the waiting room, as we will be patients of Dr. Levine as well!
I LOVED being your provider throughout my 30+ year clinical career. My staff and patients have been part of my extended family over the years, and I consider myself so lucky.
Thank you in advance for the support you will give to Dr. Levine.
Mitchell L. Weiner DMD
